The Vitafoods Europe Conference

The two-day Vitafoods Conference focused on tackling current challenges and identifying immediate opportunities for the nutraceutical industry, with leading experts and analysts from across the field presenting data-driven, evidence-based solutions; ingredient insights and innovations; and formulation strategies.

Taking place at the Vitafoods Conference Theatre on the exhibition show floor, conference delegates enjoyed a mix of expert presentations and panel discussions that provided in-depth insights into challenges affecting the industry, potential solutions, and examples of how the latest scientific research can be translated into new product development.

Talks focused on four of the most important categories for the nutraceutical and supplement industry of today – sports and active nutrition; cognitive and emotional health; metabolic and immune health; life stages and healthy ageing – and, in addition to the highly curated content, there was the opportunity for peer-to-peer networking.

Speakers included Dr Richard Siow, director of ageing research at King’s College London, chief editor of Frontiers in Ageing, and scientific advisor to numerous health companies; Rick Miller, associate director of specialised nutrition at Mintel; and Philipp Gut, head of data sciences and precision nutrition at Nestlé.
